Chapter 102: The Depressed Daughter 2

“Welcome everyone to the Yimei Cosmetics new product launch event. Before we begin, I’d like to invite you all to watch a video.”

This was part of the original plan, where the big screen was supposed to show the media the process of manufacturing their cosmetics to build consumer trust in their brand.

The new product was developed by a researcher that President Wang specially invited from abroad. The investment in this new product was substantial, and in the original owner’s memory, it made quite a profit later on.

Since the original owner was in charge of this matter and completed it very well, President Wang even gifted a car to the original owner during the New Year.

The staff responsible for operating the computer did not check again and just played what they thought was the pre-prepared video on the big screen.

“When are you going to divorce that woman from your hometown? I don’t want our child to be born as an illegitimate child, without a name or status.”

The voice spread through the speakers, leaving the media present in a daze. Reporters, with a keen sense for entertainment news, had already started recording, focusing on the electronic screen behind the man on stage.

She recognized it; this was the boss of Yimei Company!

And the other person in the video seemed to be the boss’s husband. It was previously rumored that the husband of Yimei’s boss was an ordinary person, but who knew he was this kind of ordinary person!

The scene was in an elevator, and through the advertisements posted inside, someone recognized it as the largest couple’s hotel in their city.

“Soon, I’ll divorce her when I go back this time.”

President Wang’s company sells cosmetics, with women as the main consumer group, and this new product launch was also being live-streamed. Since Yimei is not a big brand, the live stream did not have high popularity.

But this sudden change made the previously quiet live stream room instantly boil over.

Gossip is human nature, and people in the live stream shared the link with their friends. As it spread, the popularity of the live stream increased, and once it hit the recommended spots based on popularity on the live platform, the heat grew like a snowball.

“As you can see, the woman in this is our company’s President Wang, and the other man is my father. President Wang inserted herself into my parents’ marriage, secretly threatening my grandmother not to let my mother take me and my sister away.”

The man standing in the center wore a silver-gray suit, the material somewhat ordinary, but his gentle and elegant demeanor seemed to carve out a world of his own in the noisy scene.

“My father clung to President Wang of Yimei Company for money, shameless and vulgar. President Wang knew my father was married and still got together with him, demanding my father divorce, a perfect match indeed.”

The staff on site finally reacted, cutting off the microphone in Xie Hui’s hand and turning off the big screen behind him, while someone tried to get Xie Hui off the stage.

Noticing the microphone in his hand lost its amplification effect, Xie Hui smashed it on the ground, then kicked over the table displaying the new products, causing chaos.

Before the live stream was cut off, he pulled out some photos from the folder he was holding and threw them into the crowd of reporters, then turned and strode away.

“Host, why are you walking so fast?”

The System rarely saw the usually calm Host walking so quickly, and even the tool-like System couldn’t help but ask. Hearing its stupid question, Xie Hui quickened his pace.

“After causing a scene, if I don’t leave quickly, should I stay for the banquet?”

After hearing the Host’s answer, the System dared not ask further, silently turning to complete its work. It converted the Host’s rewards from the previous world into merit and bound it to Xie Jia.

Xie Hui quickly reached a street corner, hailed a taxi, and told the driver to go to the high-speed rail station. Fortunately, he had the original owner’s ID card with him, bought a ticket to the city where the original owner’s sister and mother lived, and put on a mask.

If this were a counterattack mission, Xie Hui would definitely start applying to President Wang’s rival company or simply create a company to compete with her.

But it’s not. Each mission has its own important points. For example, in this mission, the Entruster wants her daughter to be happy.

The time Xie Hui traveled to was when the Entruster had already been diagnosed, and Xie Zhaodi had just graduated from college and was looking for a job. In half a year, the Entruster would pass away due to lack of treatment, and a year and a half later, Xie Zhaodi would die.

Time is tight, so Xie Hui can only prioritize the most important things, delaying others slightly.

At this point in time, Xie Zhaodi’s depression was already severe, but the Entruster didn’t understand what depression was, only thinking she hadn’t provided well enough for her daughter, which was why her daughter was unhappy.

President Wang’s company is decent for ordinary people, but not to the extent of being untouchable, especially since Xie Hui did what he did at such an important launch event.

The photos Xie Hui threw over were all intimate photos between President Wang and Xie Hao, with dates attached.

No matter how hard President Wang tries to suppress the matter, the impact on their company is significant.

Xie Hui doesn’t even need to do much more. After all, that was a product President Wang’s company spent nearly three years developing, and poor sales are like taking a bite out of President Wang.

A stain on reputation can severely impact a business, especially one like President Wang’s, which sells cosmetics to women.

The boss interfering in someone else’s marriage would naturally cause most women to feel disgusted and subconsciously resist buying the company’s products.

Xie Hui only needs to bring up the matter again when people are about to forget it. This kind of old news can be rehashed countless times without getting tired.

While Xie Hui was pondering these matters, the alarm he set on his phone went off, indicating it was time to board. He hurriedly grabbed his bag and headed over.

After leaving the launch event, Xie Hui went straight here without stopping, carrying only a bag with documents and a charger, as the original owner planned to go on a business trip after the event.

Once on the train, Xie Hui checked the time and date on his phone.

The original owner wasn’t exactly a good person. He knew very well that his father wronged his mother, but because his stepmother could provide him with a better life, he ignored all the suffering his mother had endured.

After going to his stepmother’s side, he feared displeasing her and never contacted his biological mother and sister again. Even when his mother’s sister passed away, a kind friend had to help with the arrangements.

As long as he could live well, the original owner didn’t care about his dignity. It was this shameless persistence that allowed him to seize this opportunity from his stepmother, President Wang.

But because Xie Hui replaced him, to compensate, he asked the deceased original owner if he had any unfulfilled wishes. Later, the original owner lived a relatively comfortable life financially by pleasing President Wang.

In the dead of night, although he had no worries about food and clothing, he had no confidant. Watching his father and President Wang’s loving relationship, he felt like an outsider.

That old lady didn’t just dislike Xie Zhaodi; she didn’t like the original owner either, especially after her son had an affair with a more capable woman.

However, the original owner was shameless, and when the old lady tried to bully him, he would shout it out to the whole village. Xie Zhaodi was gentle by nature and taught to respect the elderly, so she didn’t dare to talk back when bullied by the old lady.

The original owner lived a lonely life, and after death, he had the chance to fulfill his wish. He asked Xie Hui to take care of his mother and sister.

In this mission world, Xie Hui may not receive a reward, but he has to complete two tasks simultaneously. But considering the Entruster’s actions in the previous life, he would do it even without a reward.

The point in time Xie Hui traveled to was a bit late for the Entruster and her daughter. But if the goal was to take revenge on President Wang and that father, it was just right.

If it were Xie Hui, with his pride and ability, he would never stoop to the original owner’s level, sacrificing his dignity for a better life.

Xie Zhaodi and her mother now live in a small county city. After getting off the train, Xie Hui hailed a taxi to the restaurant where the Entruster worked.

The Entruster, the mother of the original owner and Xie Zhaodi, now washes dishes in a large restaurant. Before leaving, she left all her savings of sixty thousand yuan to Xie Zhaodi.

When Xie Hui arrived, because he was wearing a suit and had a good demeanor, a waiter greeted him as soon as he entered the restaurant.

“Sir, what would you like to order?”

“Hello, I’m looking for someone. Is Ms. Liu Hui working here?”

The waiter was puzzled by the unfamiliar name and smiled apologetically at Xie Hui.

“Sorry, sir, I haven’t heard of that name.”

“The one washing dishes in your kitchen, Ms. Liu Hui.”

The waiter really hadn’t paid attention to the names of the dishwashers in such a large restaurant, but still politely smiled at Xie Hui.

“Sir, I’m not sure about that. If you want to find her, you can come back at the end of the shift.”

Normally, outsiders aren’t allowed in the restaurant’s kitchen, even if Xie Hui didn’t seem like someone with ill intentions.

“Okay, thank you.”

Xie Hui didn’t stay to disturb their work. He had been anxious and lost his composure, which led him to rush in. Now calm, he left the restaurant and sat on a bench outside to wait for Liu Hui to finish work.

By this time, Liu Hui’s health was already poor, but due to the unaffordable treatment costs, she only wanted to save as much money as possible in her remaining time to leave for her daughter.

The original owner had saved quite a bit over the years. To be safe, Xie Hui transferred the money to a new card on the train. It should be enough to temporarily hospitalize Liu Hui for treatment.

Xie Hui planned to first arrange for Liu Hui’s hospitalization, find a professional psychologist for Xie Zhaodi, and then consider his own work situation. Although the original owner saved a lot, it wouldn’t last forever.

Xie Hui suspected that it was the mother’s death that made Xie Zhaodi lose her attachment to the world, leading to despair.

Depression is an illness, and since it’s an illness, it should be addressed by doctors.

Xie Hui arrived at the restaurant in the afternoon, and as night fell, he bought some food from a nearby street vendor and continued to wait on the bench.

He waited until 10:30 PM before seeing a familiar woman appear.
